Retrieves stats from Arris cable modems and sends to InfluxDB

arris_cable_modem_stats

Fork of https://github.com/andrewfraley/arris_cable_modem_stats with influxdb/grafana bits removed.

This is a Python script to scrape stats from the Arris cable modem web interface, and emit as a json object. This currently only works with the Arris SB8200.

Authentication

In late Oct 2020, Comcast deployed firmware updates to the SB8200 which now require authenticating against the modem. If your modem requires authentication (you get a login page when browsing to https://192.168.100.1/), then you must edit your config.ini file and set modem_auth_required to True, and set modem_password appropriately. By default, your modem's password is the last eight characters of the serial number, located on a sticker on the bottom of the modem.
